Planting fully grown wheat fields with W/E:
- While I was working on the background stuff for the Castle Base project, I figured out a way to plant huge fully grown wheat fields, using WorldEdit.
1. Make the area where you want the wheat fields into dry farmland (Remember to use /gamerule randomtickspeed 0)
2. Create a brush using /br sphere 59:7, and then add a mask on top using /mask >60.
Now you can just right click any dry farmland with that brush, and poof! Instant wheat fields. This also works with carrots, potatoes, and beetroot.
| Trying to be unique, makes people less unique:
- There is a Danish psychologist named Henrik Tingleff who has written a book about human nature (Når flokdyret Fejler, 2022), and in this book he talks about the desire everyone has to be unique.
He makes a joke out of this, saying "Flugten fra at være ensartet, leder til ensartethed." (The escape from being regular ends in regularity."
This suggests that the attempt to break away from being regular or conformist can ironically lead to a new form of regularity or conformity :'D |
Using glass and gravel to create patterns:
- You may have seen it in other peoples creations as well; they have these beautiful straight lines or patterns in the fields or on the ground. Well, turns out it's actually pretty easy to make :D
If you have a field where you want patterns in, create a huge glass platform above the entire area. On this glass panel, you can use //line lime_stained_glass (or another command) to create the pattern you want.
When you have completed your pattern; turn all the lime stained glass, into gravel (or any other falling block), and then drop it all onto the ground.
Next, mark the entire area and use //move 1 down -m gravel. And now you have beautiful patterns in the ground :D
| There are two types of talking to people about what bothers them:
- It's very common when I tell people I don't feel so good mentally, that they instantly assume that there is a problem, and this problem MUST be solved! So they give you all these suggestions and solutions. But sometimes, I just want people to listen and not assume that what I feel, is a problem.
Turns out! There are actually psychological terms for the way people handle this kind of stuff:
1. Handling:
This can also be called "problem solving", which is the most common way people handle talking about issues - especially with boys/men! It's the kind of "I did this", "I tried this", "have you tried?" conversation.
2. Holding:
This is usually something that only professionals do, and it is surprisingly rare among normal citizens. Holding means that you just listen, without giving any advice. You focus 100% on what they say, and do no attempts at finding a solution. Usually, you repeat part of what they said, and then ask "How so?" |
| Things that are 'not so bad' hurt more, than things that are bad:
The American social psychologist, Daniel T. Gilbert, has pointed to a phenomenon that is rather peculiar; The Region–Beta Paradox. The paradox explains, that if I take a spoon and drop it from any height, I will always be able to tell when the spoon will hit the ground: the relation between time and distance is strictly monotonic. This is because the spoon isn't deciding to act nor change anything.
If I, a human, had to choose wether to walk to the store or take my bicycle, I would walk if it was less than 20 minutes away, but use my bicycle, if it was more than 20 minutes away: The relation between time and distance is no longer strictly monotonic. I myself choose how long it will take.
Gilbert proposes, that this can be translated into a psychological phenomenon, where if a person is stuck in a situation that is "not so bad", they will not act or change anything, letting the hurt last much longer, than if the situation was considered bad enough that action was needed. And this is the core of the region-beta paradox: That someone who is in a less bad situation, might end up suffering for longer, than someone who has experienced a situation so bad, they needed to take action. |
